Chain tugs

[kaiser]

My rear wheel in a set of rear facing horizontal dropouts is slipping, so I reckon I need a tug. Any precautions? Do I need a longer skewer? I've got some halo steel non qr ones fitted just now.

The rear end is turning into a bit of a pest, the wheel has to be accurately positioned for the brake and when it is compromises tyre clearance its never easy is it :roll:

made my own out a 10 mm washer and silver soldered an m5 bolt to it

but the on-one ones work fine if your dropouts the right shape

maybe how did you get on? I have a cheap steel QR I could try.

I'm running geared which presents one of the problems covered in the thread.

giving me an idea for a spacer doodah I had a set of plastic things that sat in the dropout limiting the length on another frame. This might be the solution if I can find them. Or fab a set up(from a washer).

I found using the old style shimano skewer done up tight worked.
